Shark - Cordless Pro Vacuum

I had a Henry in the past and currently have a Shark. The henry was good but if you wanted to use the brushes on the head to lift up the carpet pile it can be quite hard work. It was also bulky and took up a lot of room in the under-stairs cupboard. The shark we have now is cordless and is decent and I enjoy using it. It has the head with the power-fins on it rather than a spinning brush. With this design I think it's better for hard floors rather than carpet. The fins don't do a good job of lifting the carpet pile. Without any weight keeping the head down, the head wobbles up and down if you drag the cleaner back against the direction of the pile.

I have a Shark cordless WITH FINS. Not the brush roller. The fins do not wrap hair!! I have long hair, wool rugs and a dilute Torti, i vacuum every day and empty it daily. Fins are the way to go. Corded or cordless. FINS FINS https://preview.redd.it/bmwj48r457fe1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ef9a3241ef64e2c8ee9c1c90bfe78dc4d5de906

We have and at the time we bought we still had dogs. Both do great! We graduated to the shark robot once we no longer had dogs of our own. We still have one of our kids large very hairy dog at least 3-4 days a month and the robot is able to maintain us daily even when it is there. Our stick vac gets used once every two weeks. Used to have Dyson for context and it wasn’t as good. We only have a small amount of carpet in the house.

I have a shark pro and it's amazing with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I've had it for like 5 years and it's still going strong!

Have a shark hand held anti hair wrap one. Find it great. Definitely heavier than a Dyson hand held but stronger suction & long battery - does our whole house no issue. Also a light which is very handy. We have no carpets but busy house with kids and pets

No, shark with duo clean and powerfins or whatever they’re now calling the hair cleaning spikes are the best

The Shark Stick Vac does a great job. You can get it cordless or with a cord. If you end up with the Ryobi, you could always get a tool that has the same battery and use for the vacuum. I love all of my Ryobi outdoor tools. I have a lot of different tools, including the zero turn mower and push mower, plus a lot of hand tools. They all work great. The leaf vacuum does a great job mulching, too.

I’ve had the same Shark stick vac for 15 years. It’s nothing special, and there are some functionality features I’d change, but it works well. I only use it on hard floors. It’s quick and convenient. I use it daily in the kitchen. It fits underneath the cabinets where my upright doesn’t.

We have a Shark stick vac that is pretty dopefor smaller jobs If you all have power tools with swappable batteries (like Ryobi, DeWalt, etc) check out what vacuum offerings they might have

I have a shark stick vac, Rocket going on 10. Dropped it off a truck, so we have to tape the dirt cup closed. I keep waiting for it to die so I can get a cordless one but it just keeps sucking.

I have a Shark (don’t remember the model) but it has these “power fins” instead of brushes and they never get tangled with anything.

Forgot to add, it was just under $500 so it’s not a budget vacuum. The suction is next level. I love it so much.

I've always found them to be hype. Used to have a Dyson corded that I got from my dad second hand. it was good, until I decided to replace it with a Shark corded. The first time I used the shark, you'd have thought I'd never hoovered the carpet, honestly the amount of engrained hair and dust it pulled out was insane in comparison to the Dyson which looked like it was doing a good job, it's not that it didn't pick anything up but I would say the recovery rate was probably 65% in comparison to the shark. I then bought the shark stick handheld and was using that but when I split with my ex it stayed at the house. My new partner has a Dyson V8 and it's crap in comparison, there is stuff I know my shark would of picked up easily and the Dyson struggles. I also have a V7 my dad gave me which I just replaced the battery on as that had got to the point where it would only run for 30seconds before switching off so will see how it is with the new battery but tbh don't hold high hopes.

I got a barely-used Shark Navigator from cleaning out a relative's condo (after they died) and it lasted me 9 years of regular use due to a high-shedding dog before the wheels broke. I saw replacements on ebay and videos on how to replace, but none for my exact machine, and I had to weigh ER copay from impaling my hand as I tried to pry things apart vs buying new. I got a new one with the lift-away feature and self-cleaning brushroll for $99 in a black Friday sale, and it's been heavily used so far a few years. I'd be going through bags like nobody's business with the amount of hair I vacuum up if my main vacuum was bagged.

Newer dysons and shark have tangle free brush bars and there actually work!
